bots that are added to the server die when I leave

[hatchetman]

Here are the steps I do and the problem that happens

1. Start srcds on box 1
2. Try to add bot to server via bot_add
3. Each time I add a bot it says:


] bot_add
L 01/27/2005 - 18:55:59: "Norm<2><BOT><>" connected, address "none"
L 01/27/2005 - 18:55:59: "Norm<2><BOT><Unassigned>" joined team "CT"
L 01/27/2005 - 18:55:59: "Norm<2><BOT><>" entered the game
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:00: World triggered "Round_Start"
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:00: "Norm<2><BOT><CT>" disconnected (reason "Kicked by Console")
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:00: World triggered "Round_Draw" (CT "0") (T "0")
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:00: Team "CT" scored "0" with "0" players
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:00: Team "TERRORIST" scored "0" with "0" players
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:00: World triggered "Round_End"
Dropped Norm from server
Reason: Kicked by Console
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:04: World triggered "Round_Start"
] bot_add
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:05: "Bill<3><BOT><>" connected, address "none"
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:05: "Bill<3><BOT><Unassigned>" joined team "TERRORIST"
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:05: "Bill<3><BOT><TERRORIST>" triggered "Got_The_Bomb"
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:05: "Bill<3><BOT><>" entered the game
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:05: "Bill<3><BOT><TERRORIST>" disconnected (reason "Kicked by Console")
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:05: World triggered "Round_Draw" (CT "0") (T "0")
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:05: Team "CT" scored "0" with "0" players
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:05: Team "TERRORIST" scored "0" with "0" players
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:05: World triggered "Round_End"
Dropped Bill from server
Reason: Kicked by Console
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:09: World triggered "Round_Start"
L 01/27/2005 - 18:56:14: World triggered "Round_Start"


How come it boots my bots every time I add one?

Also even when I add a bot it says that the server has 0 players.

-----------------

To add more complexity I joined my server on Box 2 and all of a sudden all of the bots showed up on the server. BUt when I left all of the bots left too. Even though I am hosting and admining the server on Box 1 and joining the game on Box 2!

How do I add bots to the server and/or start the game without having to join the game?

bots only play when a human is in the server

Well thats actually configurable...

For the proper way to have bots running on your server check this link:

Adding bots to your CS: Source server

You have many more option when adding bots via a cfg file. Hope this helps!
